[Music] This is Jonathan Whitney. He's an English antiques dealer. This is his shop, and these are Jonathan's favorite antiques.
Speaker A
[Music] Hello, I'm Jonathan Whitney, and I'm an antiques dealer. I'm 45 years old, and this shop is 30 years old. The things in this shop are all very old. This table is from France, and it's 155 years old. That chair over there is from England, and it's 300 years old.
Speaker A
All the things in this shop are beautiful antiques, and some are very expensive, but they aren't Jonathan's favorite objects. These things are. This is the complete works of Shakespeare. This is Romeo and Juliet, and this is Hamlet. There are lots of collections of Shakespeare, but this one in this fantastic bookcase is my favorite. Both the books and the case are around 100 years old, and they are both English. The case is nice, but the books—the books are beautiful.
Speaker A
One of my other favorite things is this clock. This shop is full of clocks. That big clock is from England, and that beautiful clock is from Austria. Now, this clock is old, but it isn't very expensive, but it's very special to me because it's my grandmother's old clock. Wait, listen. It's amazing, isn't it? I love that sound. These antiques are all very nice, and some are expensive, but these things aren't for sale. They aren't amazing antiques, but they're my favorites.
